I am about to do a quick trim job, and clip maybe two, or four leaves. I want to promote branch growth and the big fan leaves are in the way, and soaking up the light. Should I do it? Or just let it run it's course.

It is about 30days, yes but the light is blocking the branches.. I trimmed another of mine, that is smaller. seems to be doing fine. Just not sure.

I would just leave it , I have close to 7 new branch shoots happening on all my clones and they dark green and the branches are still green because its growen alot and the branches hasn't aged yet and I'm gona leave it , if your worie about that maybe angle the light a certin way so that it hits all the new growth

oh well, just did a trim job. I only cut two big fan leaves... I think it will be good for it. It promotes side branch growth.

at this stage....the fan leaves are the "power plant" for your baby girl. do not cut them off. Plus....shes way too tiny too cut any off....id say leave it

well, i cut them last night, plus, it will allow two days for the other plants to catch up to her height. I only cut two leaves, and it exposed 4 branches. So in my humble opinion it has helped!

welll the ones that were allmost dead still have energy in them. i would have let them fall off myself. but you guys do what you guys doo. i still need some help with my shit. idk if i over watered or if i underwatered them cuz one of the leafs are getting alil yellow spot by the point of the leaf. idk what to do. im just gonna by a hydro system cuz this soil shit is going to slow. even kno i love working with soil.

1 - a light could be to hot for the plant resulting in burning
2 - to much nutes

I'm thinking about trying to get into Hydroponics and Aeroponics

Yeah, I mean I only cut two very lower leaves, if you look on my picture that I posted they are the two that are facing west and east, middle of stalk. I am hoping it will only momentarily delay the growth, for maybe two or three days, and return to normal vigorous growth.
